How do I ... ?

[angelo c]

get the cap off this Snap-on compression release to replace the Schrader valve ?

 

[angelo c]

Nobody owns a snap-on compression tester?

 

[super3]

I have one but that's not where the valve is.

Where's yours ?

 

[super3]

End of the hose where it screws into plug hole.

 

[angelo c]

Have you ever replaced the shrader ?

 

[super3]

Once in one hose.

 

[angelo c]

does it look like the one in the pic above ?

 

[jake wells]

I think Walmart carries the "Strap-on" line...

That doesn't look like it uses a Schrader valve. It looks like it's a snap on only kind of valve.

 

[angelo c]

Those are extra valves that came with it. I can't figure out how to pull it apart to see what's actually in there.

That is just the pressure release for the gauge.

 

[idiotwithasaw]

It looks to me like it is the Schrader valve. When you push the button does the bottom come down like I think it looks like it does?

The pressure release (on the left). Screws in just below the gauge.
The schrader valve core (on the right). Goes in the end of the hose.

That piece front and center is in the tip of the hose where it screws into the plug hole?

I'm confused Angelo, but that's not uncommon.

the valve goes in the release button. I'm trying to get the button apart to replace it.

 

[super3]

Is it leaking?

Those are extra valves that came with it. I can't figure out how to pull it apart to see what's actually in there.

Those spare valves that came with it are for the end of the hose where it screws into the plug hole.

Looks like they gave you the wrong thing. Maybe the pressure reliefe button for the gauge is not serviceable... they probably have a replacement button but thought you needed the valve in the end of the hose...

yup. looks like you have it. It looks and acts like a "Schrader" but isn't. looks like the entire unit is "sealed"
